LONDON, Ont. — Ontario Tory leader Tim Hudak shifted from the stick to the carrot Thursday as he touted tax cuts during a stop in London, Ont.

Surrounded by big-screen TVs at a London electronics retailer, Hudak said he would reward consumers with a tax cut, about $820 annually for the average family, once the budget is balanced with tough cutbacks.

“I think it’s time to lower taxes in the province to get our economy going again. Balancing the budget will not be easy ... but once you get there, there will be benefits for all of us.”

Hudak estimated that a tax cut to middle-income families would create 47,000 jobs in Ontario through economic stimulus.

“We will reward your sacrifice and hard work ... and that means you will have more money to invest in things you care about.”
